Yesterday in an MSNBC interview Tennessee Republican gubenatorial candidate, current US House member (TN-03), and everyone's favorite college dropout and coke fiend, Zach Wamp described what it is like to live in a bubble of conservatism. He explained that access to health care is a privilege in the United States. When pressed by a reporter about a hypothetical patient suffering from cancer, Wamp further explained that health care is a right for some people, but a privilege for most.
Wamp, a current recipient of government-provided (read: socialist, Marxist, communist, Soviet, traitor) health care as a Member of Congress, apparently has his own little red list of qualities and qualifications for who gets rights in this country and who does not. My guess is that in addition to his list of qualities for the right to health care he has similar lists for those who should be given the right of habeas corpus, freedom of speech and the like.
Apparently, if you are a former drunk and coke addict, but White, Southern Baptist and a Member of Congress getting your health care from the government is ok. However, if you're an unskilled worker earning minimum wage and have a sinus infection that is induced by something other than inhaling mile after of mile of Colombia's finest, you better not expect the government to subsidize your doctor's visit and prescription antibiotic...Commie.
